Reaching 97 million of them have been visiting some places in 2013 and spent over \u20ac75.5 billion in 2012.

France, Italy and recently U.K. are the main European destinations but Spain is not ready to give up and also have a few beauty of its own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nevertheless, since the 2008 crisis and all the austerity measures, cross-border travel between European countries has decreased steering countries with difficulties such as Spain or Greece to seek outside of their traditional British, Dutch and German source markets for income.

From taxi drivers to tour guides and even luxury hotel owners to know Chinese travel wishes and customs. Also, during the international conference on Asian tourism in Barcelona, solutions have been given to increase the number of Chinese tourist in the country. Specialist companies provided advice and other services relating to hospitality, catering and travel.<\/p>\n<h4>Social media are the key to engage with Chinese travellers\u00a0<\/h4>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">More over, Chinese mainland and Hong Kong investors have been contacted to open new hotel, travel companies or restaurant in Spain which is supposed to reassure Chinese on the cultural side. The country want to make them feel comfortable. For example, it has already make exceptions on some bullfights by not killing the animal at the end of the game to appease Chinese tourists who do not like blood.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-5236\" src=\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Chinese-tourist-Spain.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"603\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Chinese-tourist-Spain.jpg 500w, https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Chinese-tourist-Spain-300x168.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The country still need to make some efforts if they want to attract more tourist though. A tour company,\u00a0Marly Camino, has seen an impressive increase of Asian tourist (from Singapore and Philippines mainly) interested in the high-end walking packages on the Way of Saint James (in the North of Spain) but there is only one official Chinese speaking tour guide in the region. The solution for Spanish travel agencies will be to partnership with Chinese ones to crack the market.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spain beaches are worthy competitors to other holidays havens<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Spain\u2019s beaches are very popular in Europe and the word has been spread all the way to Asia. If Maldives are still on the top 5 favourites Chinese destination, the beautiful beach resorts of Spain are starting to win interest. Nevertheless, the Mediterranean sea does not benefit from the same richness as the Indian Ocean. Therefore, the Spanish island needs to organise hopping tour, night fishing and snorkelling.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/wires_1399282713751_middle.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4849 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/wires_1399282713751_middle.jpg\" alt=\"\u00a3\u00a8\u00b9\u00fa\u00bc\u00ca\u00a3\u00a9\u00a3\u00a86\u00a3\u00a9\u00d6\u00d0\u00b9\u00fa\u00b9\u00fa\u00ba\u00bd\u00b1\u00b1\u00be\u00a9\u00a1\u00aa\u00ce\u00ac\u00d2\u00b2\u00c4\u00c9\u00a1\u00aa\u00b0\u00cd\u00c8\u00fb\u00c2\u00de\u00c4\u00c7\u00ba\u00bd\u00cf\u00df\u00b3\u00c9\u00b9\u00a6\u00ca\u00d7\u00ba\u00bd\" width=\"589\" height=\"392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/wires_1399282713751_middle.jpg 900w, https:\/\/chinesetouristagency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/wires_1399282713751_middle-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 589px) 100vw, 589px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">A specific tourism plan for Chinese<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea is to adapt strategies to make Spain a worthy destination.
